A write-in campaign for President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary Tuesday, after the state was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee.

Voters who wrote in Biden’s name beat out Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and self-help author Marianne Williamson, according to three news networks, with early counts of unprocessed write-in ballots outnumbering votes for Phillips by a more-than-three-to-one margin.

    I’m no republican, but I don’t understand why any party should have any say over when a state holds it’s primary. And I don’t understand what the end-goal is to writing in Biden. If the point was to give the Dems the finger by holding a primary anyway (that won’t count) why wouldn’t you write in other Dems, instead of the candidate the party already supports?
